Tingling pain during exercise + shooting pain 1 year post BA. What could this be?

Question

It's been 13 months since I had my BA, 325 and 345cc under the muscle. Incision underneath. Since day one, I've had a soft tingling on the lower part of one breast (345cc) after exercise. Is this normal, even with a supportive bra? I also have an occasional shooting pain in one spot on the lower side of the right breast. This pain has come and gone since day 1. Any idea of what that could be? It can be sensitive to the touch, which might be because I've searched for lumps. I can't find any.

Hi there and thanks for your question!  Based on your description of the pain it sounds like its nerve related.  It can take up to a year or more for nerve pain to resolve, however I would still recommend seeing your surgeon for a follow up to ensure everything looks/feels normal.  Hope this helps and best of luck!

Thanks for your question...It's best to see your surgeon in person. However, shooting pains are usually nerve related discomfort. Please to your surgeon if you are still concerned.You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

Without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.
